The temps have been damn near tropical (50 in March in Maine is as tropical as you’re going to get) so it has me feeling light and springy. I’ve also been seeing lots of preppy accessories floating around the interwebs lately, so it’s time for my summer sailing apparel to make a comeback! Not that I know how to sail, but I kinda want to learn. I get jealous when I see all the cute little boats out in the water all summer long. My stifled inner Jackie O is screaming for a yacht!
Any sailors out there? Do you actually dress like a sailor (please say you do)? I went for the first time last year and felt a smidgen ridiculous in my get-up, but I had fun. See here for my recap.
Wideleg jeans: Uniqlo
Gray cardigan: L.L.Bean Signature
White tank: Old Navy
Scarf: Oscar De La Renta (bought it at Daffy’s in NY my freshman year of college)
LL Belt: L.L.Bean Signature
Over sized Wayfarers: 80′s Purple
Black oxfords: Deena & Ozzy (Urban Outfitters)
I am not exactly taking part in the For Japan With Love Bloggers Day of Silence. Only because I am bad at three specific things:
a.) being organized in advance
b.) being quiet
c.) being serious on this blog
However, I will ask that if you can give, please do. Here is the link. You can also donate $5 through Living Social, and they will match that donation. My heart goes out to everyone in pain.

Salt = sodium = bad.
Sweet = calories = bad.
Well, isn't that just a bleak outlook. I firmly believe that without salt and without sweet we all just live in a world of lettuce. Plain lettuce. Fun? No.
This blog is about life. Namely, my life. But, not that specific. I myself am simply not that interesting. I live an ordinary life, work an ordinary job and do ordinary things.
But... life is all about experiencing that feeling you get when you really, really like something. If you don't feel a little warm in your heart when you walk into a farmer's market or try on a piece of beautiful clothing that fits you perfectly (that just so happens to be a great deal!) then you should probably keep on a' movin' from my little plot of internet.
Sweeter salt is my metaphor for the good things in life, sprinkled over everything in moderation. Banana? Kinda boring. Banana smoothie - yum! White tank top? Yawn. Statement necklace layered over said tank - now we're talking!
I live in Portland, Maine. I love cooking, eating out, riding my bike and approachable fashion. This blog does not chronicle my every waking moment. This is because you will probably not be entertained by the 10th day in a row that I eat the exact same salad for lunch. It does chronicle a healthy, active, fun-filled, colorful lifestyle, in Portland and beyond.
It also covers dogs. Cute ones mostly.

Hello Darling. Loving this outift. There’s really nothing more pleasing to my eye than a good pair of wide leg trousers, styled so perfectly. You don’t look like you should be the one doing the sailing. You should be owning the yacht! Enjoying the wind in your hair, champagne in hand.
I donated to the Red Cross already. Proud?
Fabulous outfit – love the scarf!!
Great blog; happy I found you!

I love the Bell Bottom Flares. I used to be a huge fan of them in high school and cannot wait to indulge in that trend again!
love the outfit!
